@Nigelo @MarkM
So I was down looking at some M4s in Bavarian today, are there any options that are really worth the extra money?
If I do go for one I would really like an exhaust like either of yours and some carbon bits, any advice on where is best to get these from? I would doubt that direct from BMW is the best way to go cost wise.
Also, can you give me an idea of servicing costs? I'm not even sure if the service pack is still a thing with BMW, servicing costs is probably what is concerning me the most.
Cheers,
Chris
Cheers @MarkM
I'm looking at brand new ones, so I would expect the condition to be perfect
They have a few and price varies based on the spec, which is why I asked about the options. I do have to admit I'm a sucker for tech so anything related to that is likely to be hard to resist for me.
Nearly a grand for a two year service at BMW I paid £670 at Porsche for my 2 year service and thought that was steep, don’t feel as bad now haha.
I find HUD was amazing for driving it on the limit and think surround view is the option I miss the most of anything.
What’s the main differences in spec in the ones you’re looking at?
Full leather (dash) is about the only thing I wish mine had but it wasn’t a deal breaker

That option seems to only available as part of a package, not a stand alone option.
Something called the ultimate package.
I'm talking to the sales guy on Monday again, it all really depends on what they will give me for my TCR.
I really liked the HUD on my AMG, I really miss it so i would definitely be interested in that.
Ah Ultimate package is what @Nigelo has which is all options afaik!
I didn't even get round to discussing what colours they have, the only colour that would be a no is black, I would be willing to look at any other colours as I'm more interested in the overall spec.
Laguna seca blue heritage edition still in the showroom?
Try Country Garage, better people there imo and a bonus of not being Agnews, they just couldn’t find me a white M4 when I wanted one
Bavarian have a imola red heritage edition in the showroom but its about £80k I think.
I'd be trying to get a colour out if the usual perhaps - one of the reds, or velvet blue, or there was a lovely silver-grey car sold recently.
Stratus Grey

Red M4s must be very rare. I’d definitely be going individual if I was buying new
I really like the grey exterior and red interior combo, to be honest the black leather is my least favourite but also seems to be the most common.
They have a nice used mineral grey one, but the deals on new ones are better value.
I nearly bought a Ferrari red M3...... Was beaut looking.
Yours is a stunning colour, but I think it would break my heart trying to keep it clean and I am someone who would wash my car twice a week.
I've just had to repair some stone chips and it's getting front end ppf done on Tuesday. I went for a top end ceramic, but next time (hahahaha!) I'll go PPF straight away and a cheaper ceramic option.
Who is doing the PPF for you?, I had just some of the piano black trim done on mine and I wasn‘t that impressed with the job they did, I certainly wouldn’t let them at large parts of my car.
Have been speaking to the Complete Car Care Company in Lisburn..... Please tell me it wasn't them...
Smart skin NI work with CCCC and I know Andrew well, he did mine, job is superb
Phew!

It was Autoskins NI, I wouldn't recommend them. Good to know there is someone here that know what they are doing as I would definitely get PPF if it was being applied properly.
I have had a ceramic coating on my last 3 cars, but I agree with you that PPF is probably the way to go.
